A dad claims his baby "tried to rip his own clothes off" moments after putting him in Asda own-brand nappies.

Jon Cole said moments after he put his little boy, Oscar in the Little Angel Peppa Pig nappy he bought from an Asda store, the 18-month-old's skin turned red and irritated. When his parents undressed him, they discovered a painful rash and "burn marks".

Mr Cole, who now wants to warn other parents across the country, told Bristol Live : "Within 20 minutes of wearing them he was trying to rip his clothes off.

"He was crying and clearly in pain. When we got him undressed we saw the rash. It looked like burn marks all over his bum.

"We took them back to Asda and complained. When I looked online I found this has happened to loads of other kids.

"They should test their nappies before they sell them."

Mr Cole, of the Kingswood area in Bristol, says little Oscar struggled to sit down for days after wearing the nappy. "It's not good enough," he said. "My child has been really upset by this. We had to take Oscar to the doctor because t’s gone all purple now.

"He's a bit scared to put nappies on now because I think he thinks it’s going to happen again."

An Asda spokesperson said: “ We're very sorry to hear of Mr Cole’s complaint and we are in contact to explain some of the reasons as to why nappy rash can occur – including teething and changes in diet.

"We sell over a million nappies every year and we would like to reassure Mr Cole and our customers that all of our nappies are rigorously tested for quality and safety and we hope that his little boy feels better soon .”

Last year, Asda was forced to withdraw the Little Angels products after a baby suffered from a 'chemical reaction' which left him with red and irritated skin.

NHS Guide to nappy rash

Up to a third of babies and toddlers in nappies have nappy rash at any one time. It doesn't usually develop in newborns, but all babies can get nappy rash.

Nappy rash can be caused by:

your baby's skin being in contact with wee or poo for a long time

the nappy rubbing against your baby's skin

not cleaning the nappy area or changing the nappy often enough

soap, detergent or bubble bath

alcohol-based baby wipes

your baby recently taking antibiotics

There may be red patches on your baby's bottom, or the whole area may be red. Their skin may look sore and feel hot to touch, and there may be spots, pimples or blisters.
